Just How Much Money Do Bernadine's and Hunky Dory Owe?

Documents filed Tuesday morning in the bankruptcy proceedings for popular Heights restaurants Hunky Dory and Bernadine's offer a detailed look into claims filed by government agencies, vendors, lenders and investors.

In addition to roughly $702,000 in outstanding federal taxes, the restaurants' controlling entity, Mothership Ventures, lists a $400,000 loan from Ben and Nan Mason of Charlotte, Vermont. (It's unclear if the Masons are any relation to Benjy Mason, director of restaurant operations for the restaurants' management company, Treadsack.)

Small business financer First Vision Financial has listed a $200,000 claim, and Integrity Bank, which controls Mothership's cash flow during the bankruptcy proceedings, has placed a $1.73 million claim. In a separate filing, the company's landlord, Victory Lupe, alleged that Mothership owes $96,100 in back rent and other expenses, and has failed to comply with the payment plan approved by the judge.
